about

"John McCowen is a recent transplant to the city, a clarinetist who plays both the Bb and contrabass varieties of the instrument. McCowen's dogged pursuit of the sonic properties and possibilities of each instrument make a lot of sense when you learn that he was mentored by none other than the Art Ensemble of Chicago's Roscoe Mitchell, but his sound seems like it could be equally indebted to Helmholtz's "On the Sensations of Tone". His own characterization of the clarinet as an "acoustic" synthesizer is particularly apt, and in his hands the instrument is revealed to be a pneumatic pressure system, replete with a kind of feedback and weather all it's own..."
